Strolling in the Neighborhood

 

Don’t you just love walking in your neighborhood when there aren’t any leaves on the trees?  It’s a whole lot easier to snoop see what the houses really look like.

 

 

 

We live in an historic area, and on a recent pretty day, I took photos of some of the charming and not so charming houses.

 

 

This little charmer was recently purchased and is getting a complete overhaul.  I hope it remains yellow.  It was cute before.  It will be fantastic afterwards.

 

 

 I’m not a fan of the add-on at the rear of this house.

 

There are stately homes and little cottages.

 

 

This little cutie is a rental.  The last occupants always had it looking perfect.  I hope the new tenants love it just as much.

 

 

This one is also adorable.

 

Our neighborhood is heavily overseen by a historic commission that gets final approval on all exterior changes and improvements.  That can be a good thing or a bad thing.

 

 

There are Victorians and colonials, like this one.

 

You can see some remaining fancy trim at the top of this one.

 

I’m always attracted to the cottages.

 Some of the homes have interesting features like this turret……

 

….and this stained glass window.

 

 This carriage house was turned into a home.

 

 

 Some of the old homes were torn down in the 80’s and replaced with new townhouses, like this one.  Our townhouse fits into that category.
